The Travel Channel is really turning into one of the more unique networks as far as having shows that are strange, spooky, chilling, haunted, and odd. Their latest announcement is one that deals with all of those things, and they have now found the perfect host on top of it all. Beginning this summer, their reboot of Ripley’s Believe It or Not! will premiere, and it is going to be hosted by the iconic Bruce Campbell.
Bloody-Disgusting reported on Thursday that the reboot of the series is going to make its premiere on The Travel Channel on June 9 at 9 p.m. ET. Not only will Campbell be the host of the series, but he’s also going to executive produce it as well. As of now, there will be 10 hour-long episodes and all devoted to the incredible collection of Robert Ripley.
Robert Ripley was always enamored and obsessed with the weird and strange of the world, but not in a way to ridicule or make fun of them. He was truly intrigued by the different people and talents of the world, which led him to collect items and stories for others to believe in or not.
Now, Bruce Campbell is going to step into the iconic warehouse of Robert Ripley in Orlando, Florida, to detail and display the amazing stories from around the globe.
